Question we have just found 6 new born baby mice in the ground in our backyard and we do not know what to do. I have just listed what we have trouble with.
what do you feed new born baby mice.
what type of bedding
Answer are their eyes open? if not you will probably have to feed them a mil replacement formule, called KMR. it's in your kitten aisle in the pet store. Also, in that section you can probably find some small feeding nipples to feed them. you will also have to stimulate them to use the bathroom by getting a paper towel and wiping their bottoms with it. it can be dabbed in water to help them use the bathroom better. Also a good bedding for the little babies that provides warmth and odor absorbing is carefresh. I would place the babies in a little cage and place a little bulb over the cage for warmth. the reason i say a small cage is because right now they are so young you don't want them crawlng around so far and getting hurt. please if you need anymore help feel free to ask.
